The Miracle Doctor: Call Me Savior

The warm morning sun shone into the room. Zachary woke up in a daze and felt something soft under his body. He turned over instinctively and almost jumped up in shock when he opened his eyes, his drowsiness disappearing in an instant. He was lying on Lauren's big soft bed at the moment. A faint perfume wafted into his nose from the pillows on the bed.

"Why am I sleeping here? Was the effect of aphrodisiac not completely cleared last night? But, I don't feel anything!"

Zachary was shocked and confused. He lifted the blanket and scanned his body to confirm if anything happened last night. But, there were no traces.

The door was pushed open with a squeaking sound at this moment.

Zachary was surprised. He tucked himself under the blanket and pretended to be asleep. He really didn't know how to explain to Lauren why he was sleeping on her bed.

"Zach, get up... now," Lauren called out. After seeing that Zachary was still sleeping, she lowered her voice and mumbled, "He's still sleeping. I'll wake him up later." There was a squeaking sound coming from the door again as soon as Lauren finished speaking. It seemed that she had left.

Hearing this, Zachary let out a long sigh of relief. He rolled over from the bed and opened his eyes.

He nearly jumped up when he opened his eyes.

Lauren was bending down and looking at him with a smile. He could even vaguely see the cleavage of her breasts.

"Zach, you've finally woken up!" Lauren had a charming smile on her face.

"Yea, I just woke up!" Zachary said awkwardly. He looked at the bedside and did not find his clothes. "Sister Lim, I..."

He wanted to explain that he didn't mean anything else, but it was not convincing enough as he was still lying on Lauren's bed.

"What do you want to say? Last night, you..." Lauren said softly. Tears were welling up within her eyes, looking as if she had been wronged.

Zachary was taken aback. He secretly thought, "Did I really do something to her last night?"

"Sister Lim, please don't cry. I will be responsible for what I have done. I will marry you immediately if you agree!" He went all out and promised Lauren while patting on his chest.

"Marry me?" Lauren looked surprised. She rolled her eyes, "Zach, what are you thinking? You fell asleep on the sofa last night. So, I moved you into my room when I got up in the morning."

"Oh, I see! So nothing happened last night..." Zachary was stunned.

"Of course nothing had happened. But you seem to be looking forward to something! Do you want me to fulfill your wish now?" Lauren raised her eyebrows as she bent her body even more. The cleavage of her fair breasts was more obvious

now.

"No, you don't have to!" Zachary waved his hand repeatedly. She was really good at playing with men!

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore," As Zachary blushed bright red with embarrassment, Lauren laughed. "Get up now. Breakfast is ready."

Zachary put on his clothes hurriedly after Lauren went out. He walked to the dining room after washing up.

There were gruel, green vegetables, and a small dish of pickles on the table. Although it looked simple, his appetite increased when he smelt the aroma.

After having breakfast, Zachary helped to wash the bowls and chopsticks. He sat down in the living room and chatted with Lauren.

After a brief talk about their company, Zachary looked at Lauren and asked hesitantly, "Sister Lim, why were you in touch with Vernon? Last night, at the hotel..."

Lauren turned resentful after hearing this. "It's all because of you. It seems that you're quite free recently, but there are many things going on in the company. Although we can start the production now, there's another huge problem that has not been solved yet."

"What's the problem?"

"It's about the raw materials!" Lauren sighed softly, "For Western pharmaceutical companies like Huang Group, the raw materials are basically some chemical substances which are suitable for mass production. They can be made by chemical methods, and we can buy them directly. However, our health supplements are made of Chinese medicine. We can't use any chemical substances at all. We can only buy raw materials."

"Oh, it's very difficult to buy raw materials!" Zachary realized the problem.

"Of course!" Lauren explained, "The demand for Chinese medicine is lower than Western medicine. Naturally, there will be less supply of the raw materials for Chinese medicine. Some of the Chinese medicine stores bought them from certain individuals in small amounts. Some have their own plantations."

"But, those Chinese medicine stores are not large-scale stores. I have talked to many of them and they don't have extra raw materials to sell to us. So, I can only ask Vernon for help. After all, Healler Hall is the largest Chinese medicine store in Ludington City. Their plantations are also much larger than others, and they have all sorts of herbs there. I didn't expect the meeting with him would end up like this!" Lauren heaved a long sigh.

Zachary was frowning. It was very simple for him to deal with any problem regarding to the formulation. But, he could not do anything about the raw materials. It was impossible for him to build a plantation as it was too late. Also, they didn't have much money left.

Seeing that Zachary was at a loss, Lauren waved her hand with a smile, "Well, don't worry about it. You just have to focus on the formulation. I'll take care of the rest."

Zachary was touched. "Thank you, Sister Lim!"

"It's not enough to thank me by just saying it out loud. Can you put it into action?" Lauren leaned on the sofa with one hand propping her head and said with a faint smile while looking at Zachary seductively. Zachary was taken aback for a moment. He said with a wry smile, "How about increasing your shares, Sister Lim?"

"Tsk!" Lauren rolled her eyes, "Is that all?"

"Well, Sister Lim, what do you want..."

"Nah, I'm just kidding with you." Lauren laughed. "It's getting late. Let me send you home now. Otherwise, the small beauty in your house will be jealous. You didn't go back at all last night." "Vanessa and I are just friends," Zachary explained. "I'll ask Master Sue if he knows anyone that can help us with the raw materials after I go back."

"Well, that will be great. We have to speed up. Some pharmaceutical companies have received the news. They seem to be in a hurry to develop a similar product," Lauren put on a serious expression. Zachary happened to bump into Maxwell at home when he came back from Lauren's place. He talked to Maxwell about his problem.

Maxwell was very supportive of Zachary in producing the refining ointment on his own. He would not trust other companies in this era. It would be worse if the reputation of Chinese medicine was ruined. Hence, Maxwell busied himself making phone calls the whole morning. Seeing this, Zachary's heart was warmed.

However, the result was not ideal. Although Maxwell was influential in the Chinese medicine field of Ludington City, it was limited to academic and medical aspects only. He did not have many connections when it came to business. Moreover, the industry producing raw materials of Chinese medicine was not big. They could only supply for themselves. They did not have extras to be sold to outsiders.

After the last round of inquiry, several companies were willing to offer some raw materials for the sake of Maxwell, but the total amount was not large. It was only enough for the production line of the Wonderzac Group to operate for half a month, and it was not enough to support long-term production.

Many companies mentioned that the plantations of Healler Hall were very large. There must be extra raw materials for sale. However, Zachary did not want to contact the Lee family. Also, it was impossible for them to cooperate with Zachary based on his relationship with them. Zachary ruled out this choice immediately.

After thanking Maxwell, Zachary gave Lauren a call and told her about the situation. He discussed with Lauren that they could start the production on a small scale if there were not many raw materials for them. Lauren had no other way but to try contacting other merchants.
